Chrissie Hynde’s Memoir Publishing in September

Chrissie Hynde has announced plans to publish a memoir later this year.

The book, due Sept. 8 through Penguin Random House, promises what the company refers to as "an incredibly frank" look at the Pretenders founder's life and career, offering a "strikingly intimate portrayal" of Hynde's formative years as a young artist and "bittersweet" recollections of the band's rise to worldwide fame amid turnover and tragedy.

Details at this point are still scarce, but Hynde has released a statement through the publisher expressing hopes that her book will "make people dance, have fun, possibly cry and maybe reach for a guitar."

A Top 40 hit in the U.S., Stockholm arrived six years after the most recent Pretenders studio LP, 2008's Break Up the Concrete, and preceded a world tour that Hynde suggested could continue in 2015. "We’ll be back next year, I hope," she wrote in a December Facebook post. "We never even got to Florida. There’s a ton of places we didn’t get to and I don’t want you to think I forgot about you. Mexico - Europe - Brazil - Russia - Japan - China. I wanna see you! Cleveland!"
